Question

Why does the pressure exerted by a fluid increases as we go deeper?

Answer 1

$\huge\orange{\mid{\fbox{\tt{●ANSWER●}}\mid}}$

Water pressure is the result of the weight of all the water above pushing down on the water below. As you go deeper into a body of water, there is more water above, and therefore a greater weight pushing down. This is the reason water pressure increases with depth.

Answer 2

Answer:

Pressure increases as the depth increases. The pressure in a liquid is due to the weight of the column of water above. Since the particles in a liquid are tightly packed, this pressure acts in all directions. ... The greater pressure at the bottom would give a greater 'force per unit area' on the wall.
